Morrissey announces arena concerts in Los Angeles, New York with special guests

Morrissey has yet to announce his promised U.S. tour this spring, but tonight he did confirm two major concerts: arena shows in Los Angeles and New York in May and June that will find the former Smiths singer sharing the stage with legendary crooners Tom Jones and Cliff Richard, respectively.

Moz is set to perform May 10 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena and June 21 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn; ticket on-sale dates have not been announced. Kristeen Young opens both shows as well.

Does Kristeen Young even exist outside of opening for Morrissey? I’ve never heard of her touring or doing anything other than being his opening act.
Funny enough, of the two times I’ve seen him, I’ve missed her completely both times.
